Birthday Bouqet

Ok - this was the cupcake-cake I made for SD's birthday party.  It was a hit!  Most people didn't even realize it was her cake...LOL.

 

Ok - I made about 3 dozen cupcakes - used Wilton's "Leaf Green" for the frosting.  I went to Dollar tree and bought several (maybe 4) bunches of Gerbera Daisies in Hot Pink and Lime Green...I rinsed off in soap and water - drying upside down.  Make sure to buy extra, because you will lose some as some of the blooms will fall apart.  (also the pollen will come off - be careful!).  I cut the stems down to about an inch, inch and a half, and use the stems to hold the flower onto the cupcake.  I used hot pink for the cupcakes and then used lime green to just "rest" in the spaces between cupcakes.  I also bought some greenery to wind around the metal cupcake stand.

For the candle "topper" I cut out the center "pollen" and hot glued the bloom around the base of the candle.  No one got to eat that cup cake.
